Word origin

The word 'unspent' is derived from the combination of the prefix 'un-' meaning 'not' and the past participle of the verb 'spend'. It first originated in the late 16th century in the English language. Over time, 'unspent' has been used to describe both financial and time-related contexts, emphasizing the idea of something remaining unused or not passed.
